Un-cheesed Nachos

It could be argued that the cheese essentially makes the nachos, but where there's a will, there's a way. These loaded, lime-infused, upside-down nachos (or nacho dip) make you forget all about the cheddar in favour of heart-friendly, skin-nourishing, anti-inflammatory avocado sauce and lettuce confetti.

Main Ingredients

1/2 large lime, or 1 full small lime (lime is much better than lemon here)

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

1 clove garlic, finely minced

1/4 red onion, diced

1/2 head butter lettuce (aka: boston lettuce)

2 cups whole grain corn chips or toasted tortillas for dipping

Preparation

1In a shallow ceramic or glass dish/oven- safe platter, spread the following layers from bottom to top: beans, salsa, peppers

2Bake the the layered platter @ 375F for 15 minutes

3Meanwhile, scoop the avocado flesh out of the shell onto a cutting board and mash it with a fork. Mash in the juice of 1/2 lemon, diced sundried tomato, minced garlic and red pepper flakes. You should have a relatively runny avocado sauce. Add more lime if it's to thick pour.
